Here is a graph showing Lake Erie ice cover percentages. As you can see, we pretty much went from zero to completely ice covered in a matter of days:

 

The coming winds this weekend should open up some areas again. If the bottom falls out again later next week then it looks like Erie will be out of business by the end of January.

It was an unusual morning with various levels of radiational cooling around Toledo. At 11z, Toledo ranged from 3 to 8 degrees, it was -1 at Findlay, and Port Clinton (PCW) had a low of -14. Toledo (TOL) reached its low of -2 around midnight, and warmed to 3 by sunrise. Does anyone know if Port Clinton (PCW) is experiencing problems with the ASOS device? This is a very low temperature considering it must be close to the lake.

 

Erie is pretty much ice covered (especially on the west side of the lake).
